This Morgan is graded by NGC as MS64. When I purchased the coin, I did see that the MM looked like an OMM? As I looked closer, I found some other interesting 'oddities.' Can the VAM Meisters out there help me with what I am seeing on this coin?

Looks like S/S "Far Left," shared by VAMs 14, 15 and 18. No doubling is mentioned on the reverse for these; the plate images for VAM-15 show similar doubling but I'm not convinced it isn't Machine Doubling. Has that look. Gonna have to work with date doubling to possibly narrow it down, but information is scarce. |

the most common doubling is: shelf doubling which is not a true die doubling error within the dies...such is yours
but it is a strong S/S mint mark doubling..I have not had time
to figure it out yet..

Sorry, I forgot to ask what the difference is between 'shelf doubling' and 'machine doubling.'

 with SuperDave. Check the date for doubling to discriminate between VAMs 14, 15 and 34 (not 18). |

Any chance of a date closeup of the same resolution as the first detail images? Don't know if it will get us anywhere, but it's worth a shot.

Sure... I will take an up-close image with my USB microscope and post it for you. |
